Clarence Garden

Walk into the Clarence Garden and you're stepping into the sort of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. London Road in North End has seen plenty of change over the years, but this pub remains refreshingly unbothered by trends—it's just good at being a pub. You'll find a solid mix of regulars and newcomers, which says everything about the atmosphere. The kind of spot where you can nurse a pint without feeling like you're performing for Instagram, grab a decent drink, and actually have a conversation that doesn't get drowned out.
